A quick but cool tip for you today... According to the The National Scientific Council on the Developing Child (NSCDC), love not flashcards, not blocks, not classical music will build your baby's brain the best. Research shows that a child's "environment of relationships" is of the utmost importance for developing brain architecture during the first months and years of life. "Interactions with parents, caregivers, and other adults actually shape brain circuits and lay the foundation for later developmental outcomes, from academic performance to mental health and interpersonal skills." A huge benefit of this study is how low-cost it can be. When you're with your child you don't need fancy educational toys, loads of books, or other smart baby products, all you need is to give your baby lots of love, kisses, interaction, and attention. Learn about other great ways to stimulate your baby's brain. Source: National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, Young Children Develop in an Environment of Relationships.
